In spite Of the waste OF corn fodder
the American Cultivator THINKS that
growing corn and making pork from it
comes nearer to making hog keeping
profitable than any other plan. 1t is
the method by which nine-tenths OF
the pork crop is now made, and but
Tor hog cholera, would be about as
safe a branch Of farming as anyone
could undertake. On most small
farms, pork is q by-prod duct, made
from what would otherwise be wasted,
and therefore to this extent profit
able. If. }.55 s.f.& s@ .s5ss@%#
1.-THE Drovers' Journal has this
suggestive paragraph about the
branch OF the ''contagion' which took
its root in q bull near Fox River, H.:
"This animal was constantly kept
tied up in a stable with full.sized
opening in the side close by a huge pile
OF manure and disgusting filth, the
stencil and fumes from which he had
to breathe day and night for weeks and
months, and the bull died just the
same as a. mudturtle, an alligator, or
b rhinoceros would have died under
like conditions, and number Of 9th

the same cause = /. ~ ga,
Mr.. Alexander Gardiner cultivates
600 acres near Greenlawn, l.. /. A
collection Of agricultural books and
periodicals forms part of his equip
ments, and in the sitting-room hangs
a framed map Of the estate (scale 200
feet to the inch), outlining every field,
building, lane, etc. His annual prod
ucts OF pickles, from cucumbers plant
ed the last week in June, nets, accord
ing to "The O. c. Farmer" upward
OF 5000 from less than forty acres. "
He uses each year about forty car
loads OF manure-presumable from
the city-at the cost OF say $4,000,
but pays out little for commercial
fertilizers. He keeps $50 sheep.
There are several reasons for butter
becoming strong, says Hoard's
Dairyman. Among them ARE: Using
pals and pans that are not thorough
" cleaned from stale milk; setting the
stale milk in badly ventilated cellars
or milk houses; keeping the milk too
long, until it gets very sour; keeping
the cream too long; churning too
slowly, or in an unclean churn; not
taking all the buttermilk out of the
butter; keeping the butter in warm,
badly aired or moldy place; these all
cause the butter to become strong,
which is the effect of decomposition
in it. The food or water OF the COW
will also cause this trouble.

A rather progressing young lady
entered the Office OF a we'll known law.

the dapper young clerk whom she ad-

"Really," said the youth, who was
greatly amused. :G'd like to, but
it's against the rules OF the Office to

Just then the attention OF the 10.
